There has been a tradition of celebrating the festival of Rakhi on the full moon date of Sawan. This year the festival of Sawan Purnima i.e. Raksha Bandhan will be celebrated on Thursday, August 11. On this day sisters tie Rakhi and Rakshasutra on the wrist of their brothers and pray for the long life of the brother. On the other hand, after tying Rakhi, brothers promise to protect the sister for the rest of her life and also give gifts as a blessing.
In Hinduism, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is considered a symbol of the unbreakable love and relationship of brother and sister. This time, on the day of Raksha Bandhan, a yoga named Ravi is also happening, due to which the importance of this day has also increased. Ravi Yoga is said to destroy the effects of inauspicious yogas in astrology. By tying Rakhi in this yoga, the relationship will not feel bad and the relationship will become even deeper and stronger.
The full moon of Sawan month is also known as Shravan Poornima and Kajari Poonam. It is said that earlier Rakhi was called Raksha Sutra but in medieval times it came to be called Rakhi. The tradition of tying the thread of protection has been there since the Vedic period. In the festival of Rakhi, special care is taken of Bhadra because Rakhi should not be tied during Bhadra period. Actually, Bhadra is considered inauspicious from the religious point of view, which creates obstacles in any auspicious work. Let us know the timing and timing of tying Rakhi.
